Just one game was played tonight with Andrew moving to outright first with a win over Jon.

 

With Rob and Kieran not coming to the club tonight it was decided to allow players until 21 January 2011 to complete their games in this tournament.

Prize Night will be on 28 January 2011, so Jan 21 will be the last possible date for games to be played.

45 Minute Tournament

 

Results (Week 5):

Jonathan Wilson 0 Andrew Robinson 1

Tony Howes 1 Brian Willcock 0

 

Jon held his own well in the start, but some positional problems allowed Andrew’s pieces to find good squares.

The game was virtually over when Jon allowed his queen to be pinned by a bishop check.

 

Tony offered Brian a piece sacrifice which was refused. It was later speculated that Brian would accept nothing less than a two piece sacrifice.

Tony was slightly rattled by this rejection but went on to win the game, although not enough to win the tournament after the result in the other game.
